My Definition of Deck Versions

I know that I often update my decks, especially as I get new ideas.  This led me to create a version system for my MTG blog.  However, previously I was unsure how I would differentiate between say, Version 7.2 and 7.5, in the tenths digit, as well in the unit’s digit.  And, for example, why should I call one deck Version 5.0 and another deck Version 6.0.
Well after pondering this conundrum I came up with a solution that makes me very happy.  That solution is that each time I switch out 1 card, and put another card in its place, the tenth’s digit will increase one tenth.  However, I will start at 1.0, not 0.0.  And, if I switch more than 10 cards, that will result in a change of a single unit.
For example, if I switched out 1 Unnatural Predation, and put in 1 Primal Frenzy, if the original Version that contained that Unnatural Predation was 7.0, then the version with Primal Frenzy as a replacement for Unnatural Predation would be deemed, “Version 7.1,” and so on, such that if 10 cards in total were changed from 7.0, then that would merit that the deck would merit the distinction of Version 8.0.

**** Naturalize - Count On This Card To Get Your Mono Green Deck Out Of Dutch

Naturalize has long been a mono green players favorite turn to card.  Sometimes there is an enchantment or artifact that blocks the way, and that is where naturalize comes in.  That is, do not play this card unless it is absolutely necessary, as there are situations where this card is practically the only way of salvation.

2nd Legacy Deck: Mono Green Version 1.1

This deck is updated at the following website:
http://craig-hamilton-mtg.blogspot.com/2013/04/2nd-legacy-deck-mono-green-10_27.html
This deck is not nearly as competitive as my Legacy Infect deck, but it is still a very good deck.
Creatures
4 Dungrove Elder
4 Llanowar Elves
4 Sylvan Ranger (This card makes my deck as if I had 22 forests)
4 Timbermaw Larva
2 Deadly Recluse
1 Ambush Viper
2 Elvish Herder
2 Arbor Elf
1 Boreal Druid
1 Joraga Treespeaker
1 Fyndhorn Elder

Instants
4 Vines of Vastwood
4 Primal Bellow
1 Naturalize (this card would also work well with 3 others in a sideboard)

Sorcery
2 Cultivate (both Cultivate and Kodama’s reach would work well in a side board)
1 Kodama’s Reach  (Cultivate and Kodama’s Reach make it as is I have more than 18 forests, which is good especially with Sylvan Ranger)

Enchantment
4 Gigantiform

18 Forests

Discussion:
When I first started this deck, I am not sure if it was because the competition was not as good, but however, this deck in comparison to its earlier incarnations relies a lot on cards that have fairly low casting costs for a green Commander Deck.  The most expensive creature car cast cost is Eldrazi Conscription, clocking in at 8 mana.  I have gotten rid of several cards that require 8 mana or more, such as Gigantomancer, and Kozilek, Butcher of Truth, and Terastodon.  Depending on how play goes I may bring one or 2 back, but however there once was a time where I was hoping to play cards like It That Betray's and that like most of the others are not coming back at least for no other reason than that it was stolen out of my house.  Likewise, I have also gotten rid of the Elvish Piper because I have no use for it now that I have trimmed my deck down to size, meaning that it no longer has creatures so huge and fat.  Go figure, because when my weight went up, the size of my creatures came down.
